“A website is a collection of different web pages and related content that is been enclosed inside a particular domain name, which must need to be published on at least one web server”.
Now, if we define the web page then it is similar to the paper pages that are bound together inside a book, the domain name we can compare it to the book name and our web server can be the shelf where we can keep our book. Let’s understand this with our own website ‘Baba Coder’. So every internal page like- About Me, WinCash, Privacy page and etc. inside the ‘Baba Coder’ can be single termed as the web page, and together every web page leads to the full creation of the website. Now to access our ‘Baba Coder’ website from any search engine browser, we need to type ‘babacoder.com’ inside the search URL bar. So ‘babacoder.com’ is the address or the domain name, and finally, all the web pages files or etc. regarding the website must need to keep inside any server (any type of supercomputer). There are numerous hosting server companies that use to keep your website every file inside their server, which can be accessible by any person in this world. In my case, I purchased the hosting from Hostinger. So together all the factors are important to successfully live any website.

Frontend & Backend-
As we have discussed above, to design any type of website, custom code is the best option, and throughout our ‘Baba Coder’ site, will focus more on designing the websites through custom code and WordPress. Also, we should know that there are mainly two classifications where all the programming languages used to fall on. And these are as follows:-
(i) Frontend- The programming which focuses on the visual elements of a website or app that a user can easily able to interact with is known as Frontend development. In short, all the elements like- the table, image, content, headings, icons and etc. which you can able to see or interact with while accessing any website falls under the frontend category.
(ii) Backend- The programming which deals with the server, application, and database that works behind the scene and which the client or user can’t able to see or interact with is known as the Backend development.
For example:- Let’s take an example of Facebook, as I assume that most of our readers use Facebook. To join us on Facebook- click here. Now when you open Facebook, every photo, video, your friend’s post, comment, reply, notification, and everything which you can able to see or interact with is constructed under the Frontend development whereas when you sign in to Facebook with your particular username and password then your particular account use to open, and all these manipulations been constructed inside the Backend development, as you are not able to see the calculations what going on, as soon as your password and username matches inside their server, your account opens without any issue.
| FRONTEND | BACKEND |
| It focuses on the visual elements of a website that users can interact too. | It focuses on the side of the websites that users can’t able to see or interact with. |
| It refers to the client-side of the application. | It refers to the server-side of the application. |
| It is the basis of what users can touch and experience on their web browser | It is the brain of the website that can never be visible to the end-users. |
